Ioana Spangenberg

"No one seems to believe it, but every day I eat three big meals and I snack on chocolate and crisps all the time," the Romanian-born model told The Sun newspaper. "I just have a small stomach. It's a bit like having a natural gastric band - if I eat too much, I feel sick." With a 50cm waist and 81cm hips, Ioana's hourglass figure - which she says she's had since a teen - causes a lot of controversy. "When I was 13 my waist was around 38cm," she said.
"Someone could put their hands around it, their fingers would touch and they would still have extra room. In Romania it is better to be overweight, because that means you are from a wealthy family. So while my friends were going out and dating, I was sitting at home with Mars bars wishing I could fatten up."
